Sermons on Nullify Grace:

When I Couldn’t Pray

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 12, 2025

When fear, loss, or silence steal your words, grace still speaks. True prayer begins where self ends and mercy begins.

> “The Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.” Romans 8:26–27 --- I.

The Faith That Saves Us Series

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 14, 2025

Salvation rests not on our fragile belief but on the unbreakable faithfulness of Jesus, whose obedience secures our eternal assurance.

Introduction — When Faith Feels Fragile There are moments in life when faith feels small—thin as the line of light that leaks under a closed door. Maybe you’ve stood there, wondering if God still remembers your name. You’ve tried to believe, but the doubts keep whispering: Is my faith enough? Am ...read more

The Faith That Shapes Us Series

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 14, 2025

Faith matures as we surrender to God’s shaping hands—trusting, obeying, and allowing His grace to form Christ’s likeness within us.

Introduction — From Saved to Shaped When we first meet Jesus, faith saves us. But when we keep walking with Him, faith begins to shape us. The same grace that opens the door of salvation now wants to renovate the house. God never intended faith to be a momentary flash of belief — He designed it ...read more

Beggars Before God Series

Contributed by Charles Payne on Oct 16, 2025

When you see the beggar at the corner: • Don’t think, “I am better.” • Whisper, “That’s me, O Lord — I’m the beggar, too.”

“BEGGARS BEFORE GOD” (Luke 16:19–31; Mark 10:46–52; Matthew 5:3; Revelation 3:17–18) I. PROLOGUE — THE MAN WITH NOTHING Imagine the man under the bridge. He has no bed, no shelter, no table, no name anyone remembers. He stretches out his hand not because he is lazy, but because he has nothing ...read more

Scheming Without A Schematic Series

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 17, 2025

When human design collapses, God’s blueprint restores; the Divine Draftsman rebuilds lives and cultures through grace, purpose, and renewed imagination.

(Finding the Blueprint Again) --- 1. The Great Design Problem We live in a world obsessed with building things—apps, ideologies, identities, futures. Every headline feels like a pitch deck: Here’s how to fix the world. Our confidence is architectural; we assume that with enough data, diversity, ...read more

The Harder They Fall

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 22, 2025

Faith runs toward impossible odds, confident that the God who conquered before will aim true again—because the bigger they come, the harder they fall.

WHEN GIANTS STILL ROAM There’s an old saying that’s echoed through boxing rings and locker rooms for generations: “The bigger they are, the harder they fall.” But in the kingdom of God, that line isn’t just clever—it’s prophecy. Because every time pride puffs itself up, Heaven quietly starts ...read more

Be Ready To Play

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 27, 2025

Jesus invites us to stay ready for His return by daily renewing our walk with Him and keeping our spiritual lamps filled.

There are some lessons life teaches the hard way. Sometimes they arrive wrapped in sweat and bruises on a Friday night football field. A friend of mine told me a story from when he played high school football. He was tough, competitive, the kind of kid who would try to tape a broken finger back in ...read more

God Hears My Song

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 28, 2025

You were created for more than success, noise, and survival. Discover the God who awakens your longing for something real.

(When the Soul Remembers God) There are moments in life when the noise finally settles… and the questions we’ve kept buried begin to rise. Maybe it happens late at night when sleep won’t come. Maybe during a long commute when the mind has too much room. Maybe in a moment when everything looks fine ...read more

The Ache For Meaning

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 29, 2025

Every human ache for meaning is the soul remembering its Maker—God’s embrace disguised as longing, inviting us home to relationship and rest

(When the Soul Remembers God) It began with a phone call. My oldest son’s voice was steady at first, then it trembled. He’s forty-one now—bright, competent, a systems manager for a defense company, respected by his peers. On paper, everything about his life says success. Yet that afternoon, ...read more

Do I Even Belong?

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 31, 2025

Through Christ, every orphaned heart finds adoption and belonging—turning lament into song and distance into home in the Father’s embrace.

I. The Song That Never Dies Every culture has its songs of longing — the melodies that rise from somewhere words cannot reach. The Irish have “Danny Boy.” The Armenians sing “Dle Yaman.” The Jews mourn “By the Rivers of Babylon.” And from the dark fields of the American South came one of the most ...read more

Exodus To Emmanuel

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 2, 2025

From Egypt’s bondage to Calvary’s grace, the same God who delivered Israel now dwells within us—transforming law into love and distance into presence.

Exodus begins with chains. The gospel begins with love. But in both stories, God moves through history with one purpose — to bring His people out of slavery and into His presence. Every miracle in the Old Covenant was a rehearsal for the grace of the New. Every shadow in Moses’ story finds its ...read more

A Heart For The Lost

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 3, 2025

God’s love moves first, searches tirelessly, and rejoices loudly—calling us to join His rescue mission for every wandering heart.

It’s funny how easily we can tune things out. I fly often, and when the attendants go through the safety speech, hardly anyone listens. We’ve heard it all before, and it doesn’t feel relevant—we don’t expect the plane to crash. Sometimes the church sounds that way to the world. The message is ...read more

Heaven Opens The Books

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 14, 2025

When heaven opens the books, God’s justice, mercy, and love stand revealed—and the Lamb alone secures our place in eternity.

There are moments in Scripture when the veil between heaven and earth grows thin—moments when we see something of God that we rarely think about. One of those moments is in the book of Daniel. He writes: “The court was seated, and the books were opened.” — Daniel 7:10 Just a simple line. But ...read more

The Test Inside Every Blessing - 2 Samuel 8-9 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Dec 3, 2025

Mephibosheth was lame, powerless, and overlooked—yet David called him to the palace and treated him like a prince. What does this teach us about God’s favor toward you?

Receiving the Promised Blessing Responding to blessing In chapter 7 we saw a wonderful interchange between God and David over God’s promises. It starts with David wanting to build a house for God, and God says, “No, I am going to build a dynasty for you.” And He goes on to make all kinds of ...read more

The Half Gospel Church

Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 7, 2026

Discipleship begins where control ends. Trust is revealed not by belief, but by movement

Introduction We live in a time that prizes manageability above almost everything else. We want lives that are controllable, predictable, and efficient. We value systems that reduce friction and minimize risk. We are constantly offered ways to simplify what feels demanding, streamline what feels ...read more
